Hello, i have a question: do i need to worry about my IMEI while flashing a custom rom to my xperia sp? Or is it fine?
I have f***ed up my s3 by flashing a custom rom to it, it wiped my IMEI number, is this the same case for the xperia or is it only for samsung?
Thanks already!
Custom roms for XPERIA can't change your IMEI.

Ahh, thanks man!
I've lost my IMEI (*#06# blank, no signal thingie) few times after flashing a ROM some time back, but not recently though.. Probably an issue with recovery used for flashing. (I didn't see that problem in newer versions of recoveries.)
When that happened, got things back to normal by flashing a ROM ftf with flashtool. Some have reported that restoring a cwm backup would get back the imei. Anyway, it's "difficult" to erase imei in our Sony than Samsung it seems..
You can erase it very easily on samsung yeah -.-

everything was working fine on my xperia zr(c5502) until one day when for the first time the phone had its battery completely exhausted somehow the cellular service was lost and the phone got locked by mcafee internet security and was always asking for the pin at the start.even after entering the correct password it would just get stuck at this part and would never unlock.so i flashed the stock firmware 4.2.2.it was so unstable and was rebooting continously so i flashed the its first stock firmware 4.1.2 which removed the lock and reboot problems but the baseband is now unknown and no imei too and so no cell service and wifi isnt working.i am currently trying to flash the different firmware files and the baseband files of c5502 and c5503 to see if the baseband gets updated.before this problem started,i had never rooted the phone nor unlocked the bootloader or do anything of this sort.somebody please tell me what to do .has anyone xperienced this same error or baseband unknown error for zr???? :crying:

Thats good, first install a custome recovery, do a nandroid backup,,,
additionally backup your efs partition, there are many tools, you could do it in some recoveries aswell...
then flash the your original Stock ROM.
there is another posibility, you damaging one of the IC, responsible for bandwitdh/ network - this means you should replace it. You havent still explained how you lost netwrok in the first place.

Hi, after flash a rom, my mi3 doesn't detect baseband and my imei invalid. I tried to flash miui using fastboot (clear cache, data, everything using MI Recovery. Flashed dev global, stable and local roms) but still not fixed. I also tried using QPST but the memory dump is too small so I stopped. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks
Do you have a backup ROM using CWM? Because I had this problem before but it was fixed by restoring my previous CWM back up.
Have you seen the thread on MIUI.com about fixing IMEI on Mi3?

Ty for reply. I have done that many times but it seems that my nvram is corrupted. I dont know how but all the settings and configurations are empty including imei number. I flashed more than 10 times stock rom with different method and my baseband is back. Still the imei is missing. Then, I try to fix the imei by looking at the nvram memory dump. I injected my old imei (from mi3 service card) then the imei is back. Somehow, still no services.
I think that my nvram is badly corrupted due to random error in flashing. This is my first time having this issue because other phone (Sony Xperia) i have can easily fixed by flashing the stock rom. If only I have the hex file to compare. By the way, the memory dump is about 150kb. Too small isn't it?
Hmmm. . . . . Seems you need a really hard flash on that. You'll need to go to a service center for that.
try wiping cache data and then flash rom.
Hi all. I bought used Experia ZR. And it have problems with baseband, EMEI and WiFi. I know that losing this information on ZR is very bad, and this problem have no solution. But I have TA backup, and in my case somtimes all working good and I see EMEI and other important parametrs. So I think that my situation may be not so critical as TA fatall damage.
I have no many expirience in mobile repairing, so i hope to take some advices here. The first question is - "Would should be my first step?"
Now i have Android 4.1.2, opened bootloader, root permissions and custom recovery. I tried many firmwares, but most of them doesn't loading when EMEI lost. I also trying flash image thru PC Companion, but it doesn't take any differenсes from Flashtool.
I think that it can be problems with flash memory or hardware problems with network module, but i don't know how to check it.
What can I try in this situation?
P.S.: Sorry for my english.
P.P.S.: I accidentally mixed up forum section. I hope moderator can fix it.
